Cars in the bodyshop today and im a bit bored so thought i'd start off a project thread.

Passed my test last June so this is my first car, when I bought it, it looked like this.:







While on the lookout for a set of alloys, I got myself a set of hubcaps and lowered the car 60mm.





Then my mate was selling a cheap backbox so got that fitted, debadged the rear and I had my first "bump" by reversing into a car.







Got the dent removed and after losing a hubcap I realised it was time to get a set of alloys and a set of smoked side repeaters ( and a gay petrol cap sticker and a Carnoisseur sticker )














Carnoisseur sticker removed, Corsasport.co.uk stickers added.
Also somebody left me a nice dent on the passenger side




So the car's in the bodyshop today getting the dent removed and resprayed where the paint cracked.
Car is up for sale on Pistonheads but im still 50/50 and thinking of just getting it ready for the summer shows. Thinking of getting leather interior, and pressed German plates. Only young so havent got a massive budget.
Comments and ideas welcome.

Exactly what I thought when they were put on! May get them refurbed as they have slight curbing.
